Chandler/Gilbert Family YMCA

Positive experience: I love the YMCA because of what they stand for but they desperately need to return to pre-pandemic hours. There practically closed more than there open, 5am to 9pm Monday they Friday then shortened hours on the weekend.

Positive experience: Critical: Communication If I had known they were going to limit their hours to 7:30c half day on Saturday and closed on Sunday, I never would have joined. And I’m paying full price! The “heated” pool just sits there and rots and the employees can’t even give you information on it. It’s close is about the only thing I can say at this point.

Positive experience: Thank you for the owners response to my earlier critical review. Though I haven't personally inquired, I appreciate the direct rebuttal to my statements and I certainly can't say otherwise unless I come in myself. I know the Y has traditionally been helpful to community around it and I'm glad to see that tradition and culture continue. I will have to come and visit you in the summer! Previous 3 star review: A bit surprised that it's almost as expensive (for me) to get a membership there as it would be at Lifetime Fitness. I mean, I'm comparing and joining the Y is about $100 and joining Lifetime is $120......you'd expect better from the YMCA. Maybe they don't get funding or subsidies like they used to? Sad. Still, the gym looks great and it is a bit cheaper....not sure yet what I'll do in the end.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Positive experience: Clean. Favorite gym in valley

Fantastic experience: I was using the facility while visiting. The staff were welcoming and very helpful! The gym was very clean too with a variety of machines and weights

Fantastic experience: I never thought I'd see the day where my grandkids were not only happy to swim, but could swim independently! I am so grateful for the swim lessons provided by the YMCA and the wonderful instructors that teach the class. I would like to personally thank Zoe for not only having the patience to teach my toddlers how to swim, but also the safety tips like how to get out of the water, how not to run around water, how to float when you're tired, etc. Her expertise and leadership is illustrated throughout her staff-- which is why I trust them all to teach my grandkids (and me) how to swim. There are so many other wonderful things about the YMCA, from the greetings you get from staff, the Preschool, the Parents Night Out, the gym, classes, etc., but swimming was near and dear to my heart for various reasons. Zoe I will forever be grateful for you as your guidance not only built confidence, but also taught them how to trust the instructors and more importantly themselves.

Fantastic experience: Our family sports place. For workout and fun for the kids. Child watch is amazing.

Fantastic experience: A good portion of that time was spent training for the Tempe Triathlon on 9/16/18. . I would love to enjoy the amenities with my family

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for about a year. A good portion of that time was spent training for the Tempe Triathlon on 9/16/18. Great pool availability, and the cycle studio was also very helpful during the heat of the summer. The staff is great and always helpful.

Fantastic experience: Love the Child care it is amazing

Fantastic experience: Great

Positive experience: Great staff and equipment!

Fantastic experience: My daughters have both been in YMCA volleyball leagues. This is where they play their games. This place is clean and has ample parking and seating. The staff has always been friendly.

Positive experience: I've been here for a while now and it's been a good experience until today. First, let me say that everyone is very, VERY, nice. Parking isn't bad and there is even some covered parking. It's not busy(unlike other places I've been to that are jam packed) from 8-10:30(the time I'm there) and everything is clean and nice. So everything was going nice. Today, I tried to sign my daughter up for this Friday's date night. You get to drop your kids off and they do activities. I already told my daughter about it and now I've got to figure out how to tell her it's not happening. The reason? They cut it off at 25 kids and it's full. Now if that's where the story ended I wouldn't have given it a second thought. It was what it is and I didn't sign up in time. My fault. . But, when I asked to sign up at the front counter I was told by the super nice guy there that it was full but just ask the lady who runs the child care center and see if she will make an exception. Now maybe I read him wrong but it seemed to me like it would not be a big deal. I think most of us have been in that situation before. Someone tells you something might happen and they say it like it's no big deal or they say it like it probably won't happen but ask anyway. Again, to me it came across as no big deal and again maybe I read him wrong. So I go back to the lady in charge and I mention Friday night. I never said they told me to ask about making an exception I just mentioned signing up. She told me no it was full and that was pretty much it. So what am I suppose to think? Maybe I'm wrong but I take that stuff personally. Because we all know darn well they could take one more kid. We all know if it was a personal friend or someone close they would have made the exception. It makes me think they play favorites. I'm just be honest with how I feel. How would you, as a customer feel? Maybe I'm wrong? And I know what some of you will say. I should have signed up sooner. I agree. But I was sick a lot of last week and I had a surgery this week. So it's not like I had a ton of time and it wasn't at the front of my mind. So overall the place has been nice but I'll probably be casually looking for a new place. I know how I am and this will eat at me every time I come here now and it'll tick me off. It's an issue I have. Again, let me be very clear, everyone is super nice here.

Fantastic experience: Good place to grab a work out

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this YMCA. We joined as a family for $80 bucks a month. You receive free swim lessons for 3-4 year olds. Drop in day care while you work out for 2 hours, and date night drop off. Just for that it's totally worth it! Great family YMCA. Lots of diversity and the Zumba class is really fun!

Positive experience: For the size of the community, I am a little disappointed in the size, but it's a clean facility and it seems as if they've packed it all in. The pool area seems looks nice.

Fantastic experience: This place has all the equipment you need to your fingertips, and it also allows teens enter the gym without any guidance 14+

Fantastic experience: I Love this place. Has an excellent staff, daycare center employees are wonderful. Facility is always clean. Great family environment, youth sports programs, fundraisers. Get involved with the YMCA, you'll never regret becoming a part of a great place

Positive experience: Great place with a gym and pool

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing place to bring your children to hang out and have a great time. My son is autistic and they were the only establishment that would take him with his disability. They take the time out for him and always show concern, respect and gratitude. The staff is very diligent and fantastic.
